  - an extensible data model for tagging, tracking and tracing of person entities (PT^3^)
  - a set of interfaces to request and manipulate person entity data
  - an XML-based data format to communicate person entity data (for [http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/edxl-de/v1.0/EDXL-DE_Spec_v1.0.pdf EDXL-DE] Payload)

The VITA XML format provides EDXL-DE payloads, and it is meant to supersede the [http://zesty.ca/pfif/1.1 Person Finder Interchange Format].

For the time being, this XML format shall be referred to as '''PT3F'''.
